I've just started using EASy68K on a serious legacy system. Serious 68K programs almost always have assembler directives. Directives for my Microtec Research ASM68K assembler (also legacy) show up as errors, and don't allow assembly or simulation. Can these be included?

EASy68K includes many of the directives defined in the original Motorola 68000 macro assembler plus some additional directives. The Motorola assembler contained a separate link step. EASy68K is a two pass assembler with no linker. Some of the directives from the Motorola assembler are only applicable to the assemble/link environment. Those directives have been replaced with new directives that accomplish the same operation in EASy68K.

Sorry for the delay in answering, due to July 4 holiday. Thanks for your question about assembler directives. The Microtec Research (now part of Mentor Graphics) ASM68K is apparently an older product, and I've only located one manual for it. To avoid taking up too much forum space, I'll send you a list of the 35-40 directives used, if I can locate a direct email address.

I've converted quite a bit of other 68k assembler code to work with EASy68K and haven't come across any that can't bo done so far so here are my thoughts of how to handle the unsupported ASM68K directives.
